Every Baltimore worker who descends down maintenance holes or places themselves in other confined spaces risks life, limb and poisoning from toxic gases because of few if any safety protections. Every Baltimore worker who works with electrical power risks electrocution because of few if any safety protections. Every Baltimore worker who works in a trench to repair water or sewer lines risks being killed in a cave-in because of few, if any, safety protections.
